Anybody that watches women’s tennis can not fail to notice the advances in game over the last 30 years or so.

Women seem to be a lot stronger and faster in the sport lately. Here is my opinion of who I think are the top 7 players since 1980 in women’s tennis, in reverse order.

7. Venus Williams, one half of the famous Williams sisters, Venus has got a remarkable record of Grand slams under her belt, including her wins at Wimbledon, but it is mainly her rivalry with sister Selena that always has people on the edge of their seats.

6. Justine Henin, probably the most potent women’s player at her peak, she did retire early last year but has since announced a comeback. Lets see if she can dominate both the Williams sisters as she had done before her retirement.

5. Monica Seles. She was only young when she won her 9 Grand slams but unfortunately was stabbed in an unfortunate incident. Since then she has not been able to recreate former glories.

4. Chris Evert, Chris enjoyed much of her success in the early Eighties as well as the late Seventies, but after winning 18 Grand slams she is definitely one of my top four candidates.

3. Serena Williams: another powerhouse Tennis player, Serena can go toe to toe with any women’s player around today, a real force to be reckoned with in today’s tennis.

2. Martina Navratilova: a long and distinguished career gives Martina the proud record of 18 grand slams to her name, as well as many other major triumphs, Martina just seemed to be around forever.

1. Steffi Graf, the number 1 spot just has to go to Steffi Graf. This German powerhouse just seemed to take everything in her stride as she managed to win an amazing 22 Grand slams in her astonishing career.
